This past week, I’ve been conducting my very own moisturizer throwdown. See I’ve used very inexpensive Cetaphil for a number of years now. It works great. It’s been a good moisturizer for my face. It’s about $11 for a giant vat (16 oz.). All women know that is CHEAP. However, someone (very generously and very kindly) gave me a jar of something called Shiseido “Bio-Performance Advanced Super Revitalizer Super Revitaliseur Absolu.” In spite of the fact that this sounds like something I should put … …

My husband and I walked with the dog today from 1pm-4pm with a short break for cream soda and root beer. I really enjoyed this afternoon with him. It was simple and refreshing and SUNNY outside! So very, very nice. We thoroughly explored an interesting new neighborhood that’s just sprawling all over the place. It was gigantic – one of those planned community deals with parks and hiking trails. Most of the homes were normal and family sized, but there were a few on some fancy-pants streets that were … …

I was talking to my husband recently about a person who really frustrates me. Basically what it comes down to is that this person is way too nice IMHO. Too nice to make things happen. Too nice to solve any problems. Too nice to demand change. To nice to say what needs to be said so the same stupid situation doesn’t endlessly repeat itself! In my growing exasperation, I blurted out, “I just don’t understand people who aren’t bossy!” …

There’s a campaign going on Facebook for The Stig to run for president. Bwa-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Sorry, I just had to get that out. It’s too freaking funny. Imagine political commericals where the guy says absolutely nothing. And he refuses to take off his race helmet or flame retardant suit. Gah. I would laugh my butt off. …

I saw the Time Magazine pics of Haiti this morning and read some updates. It’s just devastating. It’s hard to believe that in a matter of minutes, all of life can be changed like this. It’s hard to wrap the mind around it. …

Blue skies are overhead. The wind, which was a menacing force the past couple days is now a placid breeze. I would not be fooled by nature’s bonhomie however. It’s only January. And it’s temporary. 🙂 We see this blessed mildness every January it seems – for a tiny spell. A jacketless C went outside today with the happy doggy and they played in the yard. I actually saw neighbors out and about. Bring on some more sunshine! Even if it’s just for the weekend. 🙂 Happy sunny Saturday everyone! …

Who’s watching the season premier of “Lost” on 2/2? I’m looking forward to this final season – curious to see how they’re going to wrap it all up – whether or not they will answer all the questions and end things in a satisfying way. I’m sure they’ll millk the Isle ‘o Mysteries to the last drop until the very, very end. That’s what good TV would do anyway. 🙂 So what’s your prediction? Bang or Fizzle? Will you be left by the end of “Lost” feeling satisfied at what’s been found? Or will you be really … …

Is life back to normal for you post-holidays? I think mine is definitely back to normal. Let’s see: taking down Christmas decorations…doing seven loads of laundry…jog-walking the doggie…resisting all manner of sweets again…dreading having to do the restock on groceries…vacuuming the entire house…wiping down the toilets…checking homework…making lunches…doing bills…etc. But I also have the house to myself once again. So I’ll take normal. 🙂 …

Anyone have that “Magic Jack” phone service? The one advertised for $19/yr, unlimited local and long distance? It sounds too good to be true. I’m thinking about changing our home phone service or maybe even doing away with it and going with just cell phones. It is nice to have the 911 locating service with the home phone though. I’ve heard emergency services are having trouble finding some people when they only have cells and try to dial 911 and can’t give a location coherently. Not that I’m planning … …
